I-am-warning-you-Javert?! ROTFL! Seriously? I laughed at this for like 15 minutes! OMG, I'll never be able to listen to that part of the musical with a serious face again.
Anyway, a brilliant piece of work, just like all the rest :D I think I'm becoming your loyal fan. You seem to be providing the only Javert-centered fan fiction that isn't hopelessly cliched or insane beyond belief.

*shivers* Whoa. That's really cool. The last part just made me feel like someone was watching me...your Javert plays guitar, eh? *imagines that* Now I'm going to have to draw it.

Now I'm going to confess...I've been totally mistaken about your stories. I thought that they were slashy rubbish but actually reading them has been enlightening. Thank you for writing such excellent fanfiction. *bows*

Genius! But what's the You know Nothing of Javert series? It's something from the musical, right?

Where did that "introduction" belong, originally? Dog and Wolf?

I see you have a wholly different concept of young Javert. That's interesting, and ought to be discussed in our correspondence I think. :) You don't have any more material on the Toulon phase, or do you? Well, I'll go and check diligently... ;-)

This is quite good! I like your writing style and your attention to detail, as well as your characterization of Javert. It's nice to read a guitar-playing Javert. ;)

A nitpick- isn't "yep" a little modern for this time period?

Very cool how they have two conversations going on. Javert is so cool ^_^ How are you going on the rest of the chapters?

"Re-write"? Of course it's a re-werite, I'm such a pillock! I meant to say "one-shot" Having thus scuppered my credibility, I'll go

Hm, interesting. Joking. This was good. [ouch] i just pinched toungue in a radiator!

I did say I'd leave a "proper" review, and here it is.
1) I know this version of the story is mean to be a re-write but it does stil feel towards the end as if it might carry on. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but there is very much a feeling that it raises more questions than it answers.
2)I'm really intregued by Javert's posting bearing a postscript from the king, and by his two legions of honour. Very much want to know more.
3)I do very much like reading a Valjean who's not all "holier than thou". Thanks for that.
4)The letter - I know this is a real case of the pot calling the kettle black, but I do feel that the conceit of the letter peters out towards the end. The writing of that final exchange between Valjean and Javert is still very good, it's just in a different register. The start of the letter is great, though.
5)One REALLY nitpicky point; "One must keep on his toes when the authorities are on his tail" Feel very awkward to me. ven though it sounds quite odd, it should really be "One must keep on one's toes" "On" being a construction which - unfortunately - is much neglected in English (O My Good God, I must be the most anally retentive human being in the world to have brought that up!)

Quite like this. Is it supposed to be a One-shot? Because it's not getting to clear to me.
Are you rewriting an older story (don't ask me for the title, can't remember it, even though the story was a good start), which started with nearly the same letter?
Well, if it's supposed to be continued, than do so, if not, then think about, weather you're sure you don't want to continue it. *grin*

I will review properly. Honest. For now I just had to communicate how much the title and summary made me snigger ;-)

I hated it. No, just kidding. It certainly is alot different from the first one though. I had to ponder for a long time but I've decided I like this one better, though I think - correct me if I'm wrong - this one and the last one had different... ah... intentions? (not the word I was looking for. It will have to suffice.) What I mean is, the first one wasn't supposed to be a oneshot, right? So it wouldn't have worked as a oneshot. But this one does. I'm curious as to why Valjean and Vidocq are writing each other letters, though.

Valjean hardly ever gets press. So kudos for that. You make him seem less God-ly and more like a person. Which is good.

Of course, I love your prose. You are a true wordsmith in the way that you string a sentence together. And your characterization of Valjean is quite interesting -somehow more calculating in his thinking, and altogether more human and less saint than in the book.

But this bothers me: "Yep, there I am".

Am I mistaken, or is "yep" out of place for this time period?

Even so, excellent work.

That was a relly strange summary... [it was hillarous!]

Very interesting.
